FAQs
What is NITRO™ foam?
NITRO™ foam is an advanced nitrogen-injected foam developed by PUMA. It's designed to provide exceptional responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package, enhancing running performance.
What is the purpose of the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fibre plate engineered to stabilize the midsole of the shoe and maximize energy transfer from heel to toe. It aims to provide a more propulsive and efficient ride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday training and can be used for longer distances, they are primarily designed as everyday trainers. For specialized marathon racing, PUMA may offer other models optimized for peak race-day performance.
What does 'neutral pronator' mean?
Neutral pronators are runners whose feet roll inward a normal amount after impact. These shoes provide support suitable for this natural biomechanical motion.
How do I clean my Deviate Nitro 3 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The heel-to-toe drop for the Puma Deviate Nitro 3 Trainers is 10mm.
Does the recycled material in the upper affect durability?
The upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials. While designed to be durable, the long-term wear characteristics may vary compared to shoes made with 100% virgin materials. Proper care is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size. For a wider fit, consider alternative lacing techniques or a different model if persistently uncomfortable.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Clean the shoes according to care instructions. The foam and plate may perform optimally when free of excessive dirt. Consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, as cushioning and support degrade.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try wearing them for a few more runs to break them in. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If persistent, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.

- Effective cushioning for everyday mileage.

Cons
- May feel less flexible for runners preferring a more natural feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. Ensure they are laced appropriately for a secure and comfortable fit before each run.
Compatibility:
Recommended for neutral pronators. They are designed for road running and general training purposes. Not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the interior, use a brush or cloth to clean as needed. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, and inspect the upper for any damage. Rotate with other shoes if possible to extend their lifespan.
